Delighted to say LP you were wrong. At the moment but there is still time!

How much does Hameed duck under a short ball? I fear he may be given lbw if it hits his helmet ?

Malan looked class too. Unlucky being strangled down the leg side.
i cant believe how quickly he scores in test cricket
I love that he keeps the scoreboard ticking over. Not big shots, he just keeps accumulating. Demoralising for the bowlers, great for the batting team. It's infectious for his batting partners, takes the pressure off them. It's an art forgotten by too many.
i remember playing against Rob Key when he was still making his way in league cricket and he was the same - just nudging and dabbing the ball away. He had a very large red head back then too
I pity his mother. I suspect he came out that size ?
Bairstow and Buttler fail again I see, neither are cut out for test cricket, they have has their chance time to move on I think

I agree Bairstow doesn't have the technique for test cricket. Buttler does, he is easily good enough to be a world class test batsman, but he seems to have a mental block when it comes to batting in a test. Their averages are not good enough to merit a place in the team, and they've had plenty of chances, but I don't think there is anyone better to replace them.

Bairstowe frustrates. He looked great until he nicked off. Not sure what they should do.......Livingstone? Vince ? Or both of them for Bairstowe and Buttler ?
There's better keepers that's for sure and tbh, I'm sure they could score more runs or at least last longer to build a partnership than butler or Bairstow.

I am 2 minutes behind you Phil watching this. Should be a tight finish but with Lanci without Mahmood and Parki I fancy your lot

Looks all over now. Fully deserved. The no ball “wicket’ was crucial. well done LP

Yeah that was the key moment and the dropped catch
What an innings from Abell - the player is really special and thankfully England won’t look at him , Lammonby took a while but then flicked the switch.
The Hundred will never get an atmosphere like that

I find Shane Warne irritating. Exceptional bowler, too much work on his face, his choice, unfortunately I do not feel he adds anything to the broadcast. Perhaps his accent does not help

He can be interesting/irritating. I hear they are appointing him as Aussie trade ambassador to the UK
